A detailed account of the large scale copper mining and processing operations occurring in the 'Copper Triangle' region of South Australia in the few years following the end of the First World War. The included metrics and pictorial coverage of many...

During the period June through September 2002, the Commonwealth Government acquired some detailed airborne EM survey coverage of the Riverland irrigation district in eastern South Australia, for the purpose of assisting with research into salinity...

Results of a recent groundwater salinity sampling program of the Robinson Lens have revealed that the current procedure of using a bailer to obtain salinity samples yields inaccurate results, and that the salinity in this aquifer may be much higher...

A reassessment of Marathon Petroleum's 1979 regional stream sediment sampling programme led to the decision to resample a number of areas within EL 871. The Mt Neill and Mt Fitton areas were chosen, as a result of possible similarities with the...

A computerised lineament analysis of Landsat digital image data covering the northern portion of the Flinders Ranges has shown a strong correlation between the known mineralisation and fracture structuring peripheral to granites, suggesting that...

This report re-evaluates the assay data obtained from the 1979 stream sediment geochemistry programme carried out for Marathon Petroleum by N.J. Marshall and Associates within the Gunsight Project areas, and recommends follow-up work. Samples taken by...

The Ukaparinga and Southern Hills prospects lie within EL 99, a small exploration tenement located near the Warren Reservoir, 20 km south-east of Gawler. The included Ukaparinga mine area is privately held under three mineral claims, over which...

Thirty-two shallow auger holes up to 2.76 m deep were drilled into the floor of Lake Cadibarrawirracanna, situated 70 km west of William Creek, in a search for possible potash-rich brines trapped by the lake sediments. The lacustrine sediments were...

Stratabound, chemically precipitated Telfer - type replacement style vein gold was the target of exploration undertaken over an area 25 km north-west of Yunta, which contains good exposures of Neoproterozoic Umberatana Group clastic metasediments that...

The standing of crude oil on the beaches of southern Australia was first recorded approximately 150 years ago. This material, known locally as coastal bitumen, was used by the early maritime visitors and settlers to caulk their vessels and is the...

The South Australian part of the Cooper Basin had been under licence continuously since 1954, however on 27 February 1999 Petroleum Exploration Licences (PELs) 5&6 expired. The former PEL 5&6 area is being released in four bidding rounds over...

The South Australian part of the Cooper Basin had been under licence continuously since 1954, however on 27 February 1999 Petroleum Exploration Licences (PELs) 5&6 expired. The former PEL 5&6 area is being released in four bidding rounds over...

Coal has been proved at Lobe C to a depth of 220 feet of overburden in an arcuate area along the southern and western margins of the basin. Within the suggested open cut area the coal seam averages 35 feet in thickness, has a weighted average ash...

Results are reported of laboratory firing tests made on 11 shale samples and 4 clay samples, performed in both oxidising and reducing furnace atmospheres for various length heating periods over an extensive fusion temperature range. The bloating...

The area previously surveyed by SADM in the “Racecourse” area near Burra, using a 400 foot dipole-dipole configured induced polarisation spread, was resurveyed using a 200 foot dipole-dipole IP sensor configuration. This was done to obtain closer...

During March 1965 a combined refraction seismic and gravity survey was carried out on behalf of Australian Oil and Gas Corporation Ltd by the SADM seismic party. The primary aim of the survey was to assess a probable sedimentary trough located in PEL...

A review of post-war boring operations in the field of percussion and diamond drilling, as carried out by the the Boring Branch of the South Australian Department of Mines. A total of 11,929 bores were completed for various purposes, and 1,245,101...

Aim was to locate 3 anomalies more precisely to assist in location of drill sites test for mineralization. The results in 2 of the areas indicate anomalies are caused by narrow bands of magnetic material. The source of the anomaly in the third area...

Computer modelling of the Milang groundwater basin was done to evaluate the groundwater flow systems of the basin, to test the basin hydrogeology described by Waterhouse et al. (1978), and to derive a groundwater management strategy for this area. The...
